And Inglourious Basterds, Quentin Tarantino’s pulpy war epic, is no different. Sound on Sight caught a sneak peak of Tarantino’s new film at the Fantasia Film Festival, and tonight we’ll give it a spoiler-free review, as well as take a look at the 1978 Italian war movie that inspired Tarantino’s film.
